No notes. One of few pizza places that would be successful anywhere.
Via 313
Actually great pizza in Austin
Sammataro
Great Option in Westlake
Baldinucci Pizza Romana
Very good pizza. Check out happy hour for half priced bottles of wine.
Bufalina Due
The fascinating story of Sammataro fractures. Good pizza.
La Volta Pizza Club
Great option. Best New York style. Try the pickle pizza.
Allday Pizza: Tarrytown
World Class
These restaurants/bars would be successful in any city.
Top notch. My go-to is a build-your-own chicken egg and cheese biscuit, but everything is great.
Bird Bird Biscuit
One of the best meals I've had in Austin.
Hestia
In the outer reaches of Austin, but top notch.
Aleidas Restaurant
Fun, creative, and delicious.
Uchibā Austin
Good Bets
A really nice surprise. A little pricey.
Olamaie
Tough to get a seat. Can always try sister restaurant, Uchiko
uchi austin
Enjoyable meal in a city with a dearth of decent Italian options. Pro Tip: Happy Hour at the bar on Sundays is usually not crowded, and they've got a great HH menu.
L'Oca d'Oro
This place gets it. Don't always love the menu, but the team does a great job with creative plates and sips.
Odd Duck
Always pleasantly surprised. Feel like it's underrated.
Nightcap
Always yummy, and surprisingly creative.
Better Half Coffee & Cocktails
Casual, but they're just … damn good.
Torchy's Tacos - Torchys.com | Damn Good Tacos
Cool ambiance, some great menu options.
Fixe Austin
Total dive. No reservations, and always a wait – and there's a good reason for it.
Enchiladas Y Mas
Upscale Mexican. A very solid option.
Suerte: East Austin
Never expected fajitas to be elevated, but these will blow your mind.
La Piscina
Great drinks, great food, great prices.
Salty Sow
Mexican / Tex Mex
Fajitas sound boring, but these are great!
La Piscina
Best tacos I've had in my 10 years here.
Taco Flats Clarksville
Tex-Mex in a strip mall? (Don't tell anyone. It's awesome.)
Eldorado Cafe
Great Mexican!
La Popular Austin
1
Brisket
Great Barbecue
Black's Barbecue Austin
Can't miss. Usually no line. Grade A
Terry Black's BBQ: Home
Another great option, especially if you're further north.
Stiles Switch BBQ - Landing Page
Lives up to the hype (although there's several joints with equal quality in ATX).
Franklin Barbecue
Pick one. Rudy's works in a fix. Also, my favorite breakfast tacos.
